Though CD Projekt is planning on releasing The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kingswithout DRM, it does not mean they plan on taking piracy of their upcoming RPG sequel lightly. Eurogamer has word that their plan is to attempt to "fine" those who pirate the game. "Of course we're not happy when people are pirating our games, so we are signing with legal firms and torrent sneaking companies," CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwiński tells them. "In quite a few big countries, when people are downloading it illegally they can expect a letter from a legal firm saying, 'Hey, you downloaded it illegally and right now you have to pay a fine.' We are totally fair, but if you decide you will not buy it legally there is a chance you'll get a letter. We are talking about it right now."

What other kinds of anti-piracy measures are there which would be effective at stopping piracy? Name me some. I'll patiently wait for you to do so.

You're saying DRM should not affect paying customers. But the only kind of DRM that even begins to approach effectiveness does just that. And it is still cracked in the end anyway.

The one who can't make up their mind is you. You cannot have it both ways.

You want to get up on some moral high horse and talk about how piracy should be fought, but you protest the methods by which it could even begin to be fought effectively. You offer no alternatives, but still talk about how combating piracy shouldn't affect the paying customer.

I simply thought several steps ahead and came to the same conclusion Valve came to. Ignore it, and concentrate on delivering a superior product which still ends up putting a good chunk of change in your pocket.

You can continue to flounder around with pointless arguments and straddling the fence if it makes your ego feel better. I'm dealing with facts.
